Introduction

Combination of model AVP300/301/302 (integral type) and single-acting linear diaphragm actuator1. Attachment of feedback leverIn order to minimize the risk of damage to the feedback lever while it is carried or transported, and to minimize the packaging as well, the feedback lever is detached from the body of the device when it is packed. As a result, the feedback lever must be attached to the body of the device prior to installation of the device.

The length of the feedback lever can if necessary be adjusted by attaching the extension lever between the feedback lever and the body of the device. Adjustment of the feedback lever length is determined based on the form of the actuator.

When connecting an actuator other than those in the table, connect the device and the actuator, and then switch to manual mode and move the actuator slowly and ensure that the feedback lever does not interfere with the full stroke of the actuator.

If the feedback lever alone cannot cover a full stroke, attach the extension lever to it.

Attach the feedback lever securely, working from the front of the device, using the two included hexagon socket head bolts.

Attachment of Feedback Lever

Attach the extension lever securely, working from the front of the device, using the two included hexagon socket head bolts. Then, in the same way, attach the feedback lever securely, working from the back of the device. (The feedback lever can be attached from the front as well.)

2. Attachment and installation[1] Attachment to the actuatorAttach the actuator to a mounting plate that is appropriate for the actuator.[2] Adjustment of attachment positionsProcedure for adjustment of attachment positions

Step Procedure1 Set the A/M switch to manual operation.

(See 5.2, “A/M Switch.”)2 Supply air, and adjust the actuator air pressure such

that the actuator stem reaches the travel midpoint.3 Adjust the actuator such that the feedback lever

reaches a 90° angle to the device's central vertical axis. Depending on the actuator being used, adjustment may be performed by moving the device, or it may be performed by moving a pin.

4 Set the A/M switch to automatic operation. (See 5.2, “A/M Switch.”)

<Note> The accuracy specifications can be satisfied by making the attachment angle 90° ± 2°.

If the actuator type is specified when ordering, and the extension lever is included:

Attach the extension lever to the body of the device, and then attach the feedback lever.

If the actuator type is specified when ordering, and the extension lever is not included:

The extension lever is not necessary. Attach the feedback lever directly to the body of the device.

If the actuator type is not specified when ordering:

The extension lever will be included. Refer to the table below to determine, based on the actuator with which the device is equipped, whether or not the extension lever is necessary.

Adjustment of Attachment Positions

3. Air piping and electric wiring connectionConnect the air piping and electrical wiring.For details, see section 2.2, “Installation Method,” in this document.

4. Auto-setup1) Set the input signal to 18 ± 1 mA.2) Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the external zero/

span adjustment switch in the upper part of the case 90° in the UP direction (the DOWN direction for Azbil Corporation's VR and RSA actuators for VFR type control valves), and hold that position for three seconds.

(Note: For reverse close (when the valve's fully closed position is on top), set the valve action to reverse close beforehand. See 4.4.3, “Control valve system configuration.”)

3) The valve will automatically start to move, and will stop in about 3 to 4 seconds.

4) When it stops, adjust it to a position that fits the input signal.

5) After that, check whether it has been adjusted correctly.

• Auto-setup can be performed with CommStaff as well.

Check the span point and perform span adjustment.1) Set the input signal to the span point (URV). (Zero

adjustment can be performed if the input signal is adjusted to the zero point, and span adjustment can be performed if the input signal is adjusted to the span point.)

2) Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the external zero span adjustment switch on the upper part of the case UP (clockwise) to cause the valve to move such that the feedback lever rises upward, or turn it DOWN (counterclockwise) to cause the valve to move such that the feedback lever drops downward.

5. Operation confirmationVary the input signal, and check the zero point and span point.

6. If suitable adjustment was not accomplished[1] If auto-setup does not operate• Check whether the input signal is 18 mA ± 1 mA.• Check whether the A/M switch is set to automatic.

If it is set to manual, switch it to auto. See 5.2, “A/M Switch,” in this document for information on operating procedures.

• Check the duty value of the electro-pneumatic module. Regarding the confirmation method, see “EPM (electro-pneumatic module) operation confirmation procedure” on page 3-9 in this document.

• Check whether the electronics module (terminal block) is installed correctly in the case on the body of the device.

[2] If hunting occurs• Using the setup device, either change the actuator size

(Param) or individually set the valve position control PID. Regarding the configuration method, see 4.4.4, “Control parameter configuration,” below.

Note: When closing the valve using direct action with the lever, first set it to reverse close.

Introduction

[3] If the zero point floats or span adjustment cannot be performed

Referring to Table 3-1, “Integral type setting,” in 3.1, “Auto-setup,” in this document, check whether valve action is configured correctly. If not, it will be necessary to change the valve action (the direct/reverse setting). Referring to 4.4.3, “Control valve system configuration,” in this document, configure the valve action correctly.[4] If linearity characteristic is poor• Check whether, when the attachment position of

the feedback lever is the 50 % opening position, it is attached horizontally. If not, refer to 2.2, “Installation Method,” in this document and correctly attach the feedback lever.

• Check the flow rate characteristics data. If equal %, quick open, or the like has been specified, and these are fundamentally unnecessary, refer to 4.4.6, “Flow rate characteristics configuration,” in this document and change this setting to linear.

3) The valve will automatically start to move, and will stop in about 3 to 4 seconds.

4) When it stops, adjust it to a position that fits the input signal.

5) After that, check whether it has been adjusted correctly.

• Auto-setup can be performed with CommStaff as well.

Check the span point and perform span adjustment.1) Set the input signal to the span point (URV). (Zero

adjustment can be performed if the input signal is adjusted to the zero point, and span adjustment can be performed if the input signal is adjusted to the span point.)

2) Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the external zero span adjustment switch on the upper part of the case UP (clockwise) to cause the valve to move such that the feedback lever rises upward, or turn it DOWN (counterclockwise) to cause the valve to move such that the feedback lever drops downward.

5. Operation confirmationVary the input signal, and check the zero point and span point.

6. If suitable adjustment was not accomplished[1] If auto-setup does not operate• Check whether the input signal is 18 mA ± 1 mA.• Check whether the A/M switch is set to automatic.

WarningWhen auto-setup is performed, the valve moves from fully closed to fully open, so there is a danger of, for example, getting your hand caught or affecting the process.Before performing auto-setup, move away from the valve, and confirm that the process is safe.

• Check the duty value of the electro-pneumatic module. Regarding the confirmation method, see “EPM (electro-pneumatic module) operation confirmation procedure” on page 3-9 in this document.

• Check whether the electronics module (terminal block) is installed correctly in the case on the body of the device.

[2] If hunting occurs• Using the setup device, either change the actuator size

(Param) or change the individual PID settings that control the AVP’s degree of opening. Regarding the configuration method, see 4.4.4, “Control parameter configuration,” in this document.

[3] If the zero point floats or span adjustment cannot be performed

Referring to Table 3-1, “Integral type setting,” in 3.1, “Auto-setup,” in this document, check whether valve action is configured correctly. If not, it will be necessary to change valve action (the direct/reverse setting). Referring to 4.4.3, “Control valve system configuration,” in this document, configure valve action correctly.[4] If linearity characteristic is poor• Check whether, when the attachment position of

the feedback lever is the 50 % opening position, it is attached horizontally. If not, refer to 2.2, “Installation Method,” in this document and correctly attach the feedback lever.

• Check the flow rate characteristics data. If equal %, quick open, or the like has been specified, and these are fundamentally unnecessary, refer to 4.4.6, “Flow rate characteristics configuration,” in this document and change this setting to linear.

For details, see 2.3, “Remote Type Installation.”[2] Positioner body configurationInstall the body of the positioner onto the 2B stanchion.[3] Adjustment of attachment positionsProcedure for adjustment of attachment positions

Step Procedure1 Set the A/M switch to manual operation.

(See 5.2, “A/M Switch.”)2 Supply air, and adjust the actuator air pressure

such that the actuator stem reaches the travel midpoint.

3 Adjust the actuator such that the feedback lever reaches a 90° angle to the valve travel detector's central vertical axis. Depending on the actuator being used, adjustment may be performed by moving the valve travel detector, or it may be performed by moving the pin.

4 Set the A/M switch to automatic operation. (See 5.2, “A/M Switch.”)

<Note> The accuracy specifications can be satisfied by making the attachment angle 90° ± 2°.

1. Attachment of feedback leverIn order to minimize the risk of damage to the feedback lever while it is carried or transported, and to minimize the packaging as well, the feedback lever is detached from the valve travel detector when it is packed. As a result, the feedback lever must be attached to the valve travel detector prior to installation of the device.

The length of the feedback lever can if necessary be adjusted by attaching the extension lever between the feedback lever and the valve travel detector.

Adjustment of the feedback lever length is determined based on the form of the actuator.

When connecting an actuator other than those in the table, connect the device and the actuator, and then, via manual operation, move the actuator slowly and ensure that the feedback lever does not interfere with a full stroke of the actuator.

If the feedback lever alone cannot cover a full stroke, attach the extension lever to it.

Attach the feedback lever securely, working from the front of the device, using the two included hexagon socket head bolts.

Attachment of Feedback Lever

If the actuator type is specified when ordering, and the extension lever is included:

Attach the extension lever to the body of the device, and then attach the feedback lever.

If the actuator type is specified when ordering, and the extension lever is not included:

The extension lever is not necessary. Attach the feedback lever directly to the body of the device.

If the actuator type is not specified when ordering:

The extension lever will be included. Refer to the table below to determine, based on the actuator with which the device is equipped, whether or not the extension lever is necessary.

Check the span point and perform span adjustment.1) Set the input signal to the span point (URV). (Zero

adjustment can be performed if the input signal is adjusted to the zero point, and span adjustment can be performed if the input signal is adjusted to the span point.)

2) Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the external zero span adjustment switch on the upper part of the case UP (clockwise) to cause the valve to move such that the feedback lever rises upward, or turn it DOWN (counterclockwise) to cause the valve to move such that the feedback lever drops downward.

5. Operation confirmationVary the input signal, and check the zero point and span point.

Note: When closing the valve with the lever, first set it to reverse close.

If performing auto-setup

Rotate in UP direction

External zero/span adjustment switch

WarningWhen auto-setup is performed, the valve moves from fully closed to fully open, so there is a danger of, for example, getting your hand caught or affecting the process.Before performing auto-setup, move away from the valve, and confirm that the process is safe.

6. If suitable adjustment was not accomplished[1] If auto-setup does not operate• Check whether the input signal is 18 mA ± 1 mA.• Check whether the A/M switch is set to automatic. If it is

set to manual, switch it to auto. See 5.2, “A/M Switch,” in this document for information on operating procedures.

• Check the duty value of the electro-pneumatic module. Regarding the confirmation method, see “EPM (electro-pneumatic module) operation confirmation procedure” on page 3-9 in this document.

• Check whether the electronics module (terminal block) is installed correctly in the case on the body of the device.

[2] If hunting occurs• Using the setup device, either change the actuator size

(Param) or change the individual PID settings that control the AVP’s degree of opening. Regarding the configuration method, see 4.4.4, “Control parameter configuration,” in this document.

[3] If the zero point floats or span adjustment cannot be performed

Referring to Table 3-1, “Integral type setting,” in 3.1, “Auto-setup,” in this document, check whether valve action is configured correctly. If not, it will be necessary to change the valve action (the direct/reverse setting). Referring to 4.4.3, “Control valve system configuration,” in this document, configure the valve action correctly.[4] If linearity characteristic is poor• Check whether, when the attachment position of

the feedback lever is the 50 % opening position, it is attached horizontally. If not, refer to 2.2, “Installation Method,” in this document and correctly attach the feedback lever.

• Check the flow rate characteristics data. If equal %, quick open, or the like has been specified, and these are fundamentally unnecessary, refer to 4.4.6, “Flow rate characteristics configuration,” in this document and change this setting to linear.

Note: When performing valve maintenance, first detach the valve travel detector of the remote type from the mounting plate.

1.1 System Configuration

This device is a smart valve positioner that can be connected to a 4 to 20 mA signal line from the output of a controller. Since all adjustments can be performed electrically, any desired relationship can be set between the input signal and the position of the control valve. Split range and other special settings are also easy to specify. In addition, by using a four-line connection, the device can transmit the control valve position to the host monitoring system as either a 4 to 20 mA analog signal or as a DE digital signal.* (Only models AVP301 and AVP201 have travel transmission.)An overview of the control valve control system used by this device is shown below.

Chapter 1: Control System Structure

1.2 Travel Transmission Output (Models AVP301 and AVP201)

This device (models AVP301 and AVP201) has the ability to transmit the position of the control valve. The device's travel transmission system offers two output formats, depending on the purpose. There is a system that outputs an analog signal and a system that outputs a digital signal.

■ Analog outputTo output the position only to the host monitoring device using a analog values, set up the analog output system. Normally, the range from the fully closed position to the fully open position is output as a 4-20 mA range.

■ Digital outputTo output the position along with a variety of device settings and self-diagnostic results to the host monitoring device, set up the digital output system.

■ Output format switchingThe output format provided by the device is specified by the user as configuration data when ordering the device. The device is set at the factory to either analog output specifications or digital output specifications.Note, however, that the output format can be switched freely by the user using the CommStaff CFS100 field communication software or the HART Communicator.

Figure 2-5. Connection of Remote Type and Rotary Cylinder's Feedback Pin and Feedback Lever

■ Rear maintenance spaceThe device has a flapper nozzle mechanism at the rear of the main unit. The device is designed such that, when cleaning the flapper, the flapper nozzle mechanism can be accessed by removing the pilot relay cover at the back of the main unit.

Before mounting the positioner on the actuator, consider a design for the mounting bracket and feedback mechanism that leaves sufficient maintenance space for the pilot relay cover, which is secured by three screws, to be removed, and for the work described above to be carried out.

2.2.2 Air piping connection

The method for supplying air to drive the actuator of this device will now be described.

■ Air supply systemIn order to ensure safe long-term use of this device, the supply air must be clean and dry. A typical air supply system is shown in the diagram below.

Figure 2-6. Air Supply System

Page 48: Smart Valve Positioner - Azbil Corporation | Azbil ... … · CM2-AVP300-2001 Smart Valve Positioner 300 Series ... #650L TC, TF Masoneilan No #11, ... Adjustment of Attachment Positions

2-8

■ Supply air• The supply air must be clean, dry air without moisture, oil, contaminants, or foreign

matter such as dust. In the air supply system, an aftercooler, air drier, filter, and the like should be installed after the compressor. Exercise caution with regard to, for example, the supply piping structure.

• Dry air refers to air which, at atmospheric pressure, has a dew point that is at least 10 °C lower than the lowest temperature in the environment in which the device is actually used. (For example, if the lowest temperature where the device is used is 0  °C, use air with a dew point of -10 °C or less as supply air.)

■ Pressure regulator with filter• The regulator is used to adjust the supply air pressure to the positioner.• Install the regulator as close as possible to the body of the positioner.• The control valve can be operated manually by using this regulator in conjunction with

the A/M switching function. (Not possible when a double-acting actuator is used.)• Use a filter that is 3 µm or finer.• Solid particles in the supply air can be removed by this filter.• If the regulator is not equipped with a filter, insert a separate filter (3 µm or finer)

immediately before the regulator.

■ Shutoff valve• This valve is used to temporarily shut off the supply of air to the device.• With this valve, this device or the control valve can be removed for maintenance without

stopping the air supply system as a whole.

■ Piping• Use pipes with an inside diameter of 6 mm.• Pipes should be selected to fit the installation environment; for example, in a corrosive

environment, use vinyl-covered copper pipes.• Use joints that fit the pipes being used.

■ Connection positionThe respective positions of the air supply connection and the output connection are shown in the diagram below. The dimensions of the screws for the connections can be selected based on the specifications.

Figure 2-7. Air Piping Connection

Chapter 2: Installation

NoteWhen connecting a solenoid valve, air valve, or the like for emergency cutoff, install it between the air output connection and actuator, and not on the supply air connection side of the device.

2.2.3 Handling of double-acting reversing relay

A reversing relay is used when a double-acting actuator is used.

■ What is a reversing relay?The pressure (POUT2) of the reversing relay's output air (OUT2) is expressed in the following formula. OUT2 = PSUP - OUT1

■ Reversing relay attachmentDetach the dustproof plug on the air piping connection.Using sealing tape, connect the joint of the reversing relay to the output air port.

Figure 2-8. Reversing Relay Connection

■ Supply air pressure connection to reversing relayConnect the pipe for supply air pressure to the reversing relay.

Installing a model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter to the body of the deviceThe model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter has two output air connections. Connect one of the output air connections on the model KZ03 to the supply air connection on the body of the device using the special-purpose metal fittings, and connect the gap between other output air connection and the supply air connection (SUP) on the reversing relay using air pipes and joints.

Installing a model KZ03 pressure regulator with filter or other pressure regulator with filter separate from the body of the deviceUsing a T-connector or the like, separate the output air pressure of the pressure regulator with filter into two branches. Then, using air pipes and joints, connect one branch to the air supply connection on the body of the device, and the other branch to the air supply connection (SUP) on the reversing relay.

Chapter 2: Installation

NoteBe sure to use branches of the output of one pressure regulator for the supply air to the reversing relay and the supply air to this device, and make the supply air pressure the same to both.

■ Piping procedureThe procedure for installing the air piping by which the device drives the actuator is shown below.

Step Procedure 1 Remove the dustproof plug on the air piping connection. 2 Connect the pipe joint to the connection.

Note • As much as possible use sealing tape rather than solid or liquid sealant. • Make sure that the sealing tape does not enter the pipes. • If liquid sealant is used, make sure that it does not drip down into the

interior. 3 Connect the supply pipes and output pipes to the respective joints, taking into consideration the care and handling of the pipes.

Note • If a reversing relay is used, connection of the actuator to output

connection OUT1 or OUT2 is determined by valve action. Check valve action before connecting the pipes.

• Flush the pipes sufficiently before connecting them, checking for burrs and other problems.

• Make sure that the output air piping is only as long as necessary. 4 When all piping has been completed, confirm that there are no air leaks.

2.2.4 Electrical Wiring Connection

The electrical wiring methods for the signal input from the controller and the output signal to the receiver will now be described.

Warning• Be sure to perform piping work with the power supply turned off.• Be sure to follow local electrical work guidelines when performing installation work.• When using an explosion-proof device in a hazardous area, be sure to install pipes in

accordance with Chapter 6, “Cautions Regarding Explosion-Proof Models.”• Be sure to attach blind caps to and completely close off conduit connections that are

not being used.

Note

Do not apply a current of 45 V or higher.

2.2.6 Cables (for input signal or travel transmission)

■ Cable selection and conditionsThe selection of and conditions related to cables for wiring are described below.• We recommend the use of CVV (JIS C 3401) 600 V control wires with PVC insulation

and a conductor cross-section of 1.25 mm2, or stranded cables with the same or better performance specifications.

• For locations that are readily affected by electromagnetic noise, use CVVS (JCS 4258) shielded wires and metal conduits.

• Select a sheath material that can withstand the cable installation environment (e.g., ambient temperature, corrosive gases, and corrosive liquids).

• Pull the cable to the terminal box through the conduit connection port (G1/2 internal thread, 1/2 NPT internal thread, or M20×1.5 internal thread).

• Use cable with an outer diameter between 7 and 12 mm. If a flameproof cable gland is used, be sure to use packing that conforms to the outer diameter of the cable.

• For wire ends, we recommend the use of crimp terminals (for M4 screws) with an insulating sleeve.

• The maximum cable length is 1500 m.

• Use the appropriate dedicated cable for the wiring between the main unit and the valve travel detector of the remote type (model AVP200/201).

■ CablingWhen cabling between the device and the controller, be careful of the following items.

• When wiring, avoid sources of electromagnetic noise such as high-capacity transformers, motors, and motive power supplies.

Also, do not place cables in the same tray or duct with power cables.

• For waterproofing and wire damage prevention, we recommend using conduits and ducts. In addition, be sure to use waterproof adapters at conduit connections.

• In locations that are readily affected by electromagnetic noise, use conduits and ducts.

• If shielded cables are used for wiring, as a rule ground one point on the distributed control system side.

Note

• A 3.5 % variation in the opening of the valve may occur around 2–4 MHz of conducted disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields (EN 61000-4-6). Use the provided special-purpose cables as the cables between the main unit and the valve travel detector of a remote type (Model AVP200/201). Regarding construction and cabling, see 2.3, “Remote Type Handling.”

Chapter 2: Installation

■ Wiring procedureThe wiring procedure for operating the device is shown below.

Step Procedure 1 Loosen the hex socket setscrew (M3) on the terminal box cover using a hexagonal wrench (1.5). 2 Remove the terminal box cover by turning it counterclockwise.

Note • When doing this, be careful not to scratch the painted surface with a tool

or the like. 3 Remove the dustproof plug on the conduit connection. 4 Insert the cable into the conduit connection.

Note • When doing this, be careful not to scratch the cable sheath.

5 Referring to Figures 2-13, 2-14-1, and 2-14-2, run the cable to the relevant terminal in the terminal box.

Note • Be careful not to make a mistake in polarity. • Tighten the terminal screws sufficiently. The recommended tightening

torque is 1.5 N•m. 6 Sufficiently waterproof the conduit so that rainwater and the like does not penetrate inside.

Note • We recommend the use of silicone resin based non-hardening sealant

materials. 7 After attaching and sufficiently closing the terminal box cover, fix the cover in place with the hex socket setscrew.

Note • When doing this, be careful not to scratch the painted surface with a tool

or the like.

Note

Model AVP302/202 has an input resistance equivalent to 600 Ω / 20 mA DC (model AVP300/301/200/201 is equivalent to 300 Ω), and the voltage between the terminals must be at least 12 V. Check the allowable load resistance and output voltage of the controller before use. In addition, if the allowable load resistance of the controller is less than 600 Ω, use an isolator or the like.

Be careful to avoid injuring you fingers on the edges of the cover, the threads of screws on the main unit, etc.

3.1 Auto-setup

Before using this device, run auto-setup. After that, if necessary adjust the fully closed position (zero) and fully open position (span) that delineate valve travel.

The device's zero/span adjustment function electrically sets the valve closed and open positions independently, and is thus capable of performing this adjustment without mutual interference.

The auto-setup method that uses an external zero/span adjusting mechanism will now be described.

Note

After auto-setup is complete, be sure to confirm valve action, including for instance opening and closing, by varying the input signal.

The device provides the following two operating modes. (This assumes that the software is version 3.5 or higher; for previous versions, only the fast-response priority mode is implemented.)• Stability priority mode: mode that gives priority to stability, with little overshoot.• Fast-response priority mode: mode that gives priority to fast response; use this mode

with a double-acting actuator.

This setting is switched based on the forced fully closed setting, so be sure to change the operating mode as necessary.• Forced fully closed setting ≤ 0.5 % input signal: stability priority mode (default value)• Forced fully closed setting > 0.5 % input signal: fast-response priority mode

■ External zero/span adjustment unit structureThe structure of the external zero/span adjustment unit is shown in the figure below.This method can also be used when the setup device cannot be used (when the terminal box cannot be opened), such as in cases in which the device is used in a hazardous area.

Chapter 3: Operation

Table 3-1. Integral type setting

3.1.1 Overview of auto-setup

Use this procedure to automatically set the following items.(1) Zero/span adjustment

(However, by default the span point is set at 10 % of the overstroke. If a span adjustment is done after auto-setup, change and save the overstroke setting.)

(2) Configuration of actuator operation

(3) Configuration of the LRV (lower range value, the input signal at 0 %) and URV (upper range value, the input signal at 100 %) of the input signal

If actuator operation is reverse operation: LRV = 4 mA, URV = 20 mAIf actuator operation is direct operation: LRV = 20 mA, URV = 4 mA

(4) Configuration of actuator size (Param)

(5) Configuration of hysteresis difference (Hys)Set the gland packing hysteresis difference from among three types: LIGHT, MEDIUM, and HEAVY.

(6) Travel transmission fail-safe setting

If the valve action parameters to which the device is configured using Tables 3-1 and 3-2 are the reverse close (REVERSE) values, see 4.4.3, “Control valve system configuration,” in this document, and set valve action to the reverse close settings.

If the valve action parameters to which the device is configured using Tables 3-1 and 3-2 are the direct close (DIRECT) values, no parameter configuration is required. (The device is shipped from the factory set to “direct close (DIRECT).”)

Chapter 3: Operation

3.1.2 Auto-setup operation

Step Procedure

1 Set the input signal to the device to 18 ±1 mA DC. 2 Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the external zero/span adjustment

screw in the upper part of the case 90° clockwise (counter-clockwise for Azbil Corporation's VR and RSA actuators for VFR type control valves), and hold that position for three seconds. If the valve then starts to move in the direction that releases actuator air pressure, the auto-setup process has begun, so remove the screwdriver.

3 The valve alternates between fully closed and fully open two times. It then moves to the vicinity of the 50 % open position. This takes approximately 3 to 4 minutes.

4 When the input signal becomes able to control the valve, the auto-setup operation ends. After the operation ends, hold the input signal at 4 mA or higher for 30 seconds so that the settings are written to non-volatile memory.

Note

• While auto setup is running, do not set the input signal below 4 mA. (As long as the signal is in the 4 to 20 mA range, changing it will not cause any problems.)

• Do not use a magnetic screwdriver, as this may prevent the function from operating.

• After the operation has completed, vary the input signal and confirm that the corresponding position results. If the span position has shifted, adjust the span. (See 3.2, “External zero/span adjustment.”)

• In some cases, configuration may not succeed due to the actuator's diaphragm capacity (if lower than with Azbil Corporation's HA1 type actuator, which has a diaphragm capacity of 850 cm³) or operation stroke (if less than 14.3 mm). If this occurs, refer to 4.4.4, “Control parameter configuration,” and manually adjust the dynamic characteristics.

• After executing auto-setup, the forced fully open setting (see 4.4.7, “Forced fully open/closed setting,”) may be changed. If necessary, reconfigure the forced fully open value.

• When an Azbil Corporation VFR type control valve is configured by turning the external zero/span adjustment switch in the counter-clockwise (DOWN) direction, the actuator size is set to PARAM7-9, and the feedback lever is set to 0 % upward travel and 100 % downward travel.

• If the booster relay is incorporated, there is a possibility of hunting during auto-setup, so either adjust the booster’s sensitivity or refer to 4.4.4, “Control parameter configuration,” and manually adjust the dynamic characteristics.

Page 70: Smart Valve Positioner - Azbil Corporation | Azbil ... … · CM2-AVP300-2001 Smart Valve Positioner 300 Series ... #650L TC, TF Masoneilan No #11, ... Adjustment of Attachment Positions

3-6

• If a speed controller is incorporated, set it to full open and execute auto-setup. Then, adjust the speed with the speed controller.

• If the device is purchased separately, its initial settings are set to those in the list of default values in 5.7, “List of Default Internal Data Values.” Because the default actuator direction is reverse, the device will not work as is if mounted on the direct actuator. Before operation, be sure to execute auto-setup and be sure that the device is configured appropriately.

3.2 Zero/Span Adjustment

The zero/span adjustment method that uses an external zero/span adjusting mechanism will now be described.[Adjustment Method]

The zero/span adjustment screw functions as an on/off switch. When rotated 90° clockwise, the UP switch turns on, when rotated or 90° counterclockwise, the DOWN switch turns on, and when returned to the original position, both switches turn off. Adjust the position by repeatedly turning this switch on and off. The position of the feedback lever is stored when the switch is turned off. Since zero point and span point adjustments do not interfere with each other, these can be adjusted independently.

The operation of the external zero/span adjustment unit is shown below.[Adjustment Direction]

When the adjustment screw is turned in the clockwise direction, the feedback lever moves in the upward direction.

Figure 3-2-1. Adjusting the Lever in the Upward Direction

When the adjustment screw is turned in the counterclockwise direction, the feedback lever moves in the downward direction.

Figure 3-2-2. Adjusting the Lever in the Downward Direction

Note

• The external zero/span adjustment mechanism uses a magnet to turn a reed switch on and off.

• Do not use a magnetic screwdriver, as this may prevent the function from operating.

• The external zero/span adjustment function determines, based on the input signal, whether a valve fully open position (span) adjustment or a valve fully closed position (zero) adjustment is to be performed. If the input signal is not within a range of ±1 mA of the electric current setting values that correspond to the valve open and closed positions, this function will not operate.

Chapter 3: Operation

3.2.1 Procedure to adjust valve to fully closed position (zero point)

The procedure to adjust the valve to the fully closed position (zero point) is shown below.Step Procedure

1 Input from a controller (constant-current supply) the preset electric current in the amount that corresponds to the valve being fully closed. (Example: 4 mA)

2 Adjust the fully closed position of the valve by turning the adjustment screw in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. See Figure 3-2-1 or Figure 3-2-2 regarding adjustment direction. (If the forced fully closed function is operating, the valve will not move. To change the forced fully closed setting, see 4.4.7, “Forced fully open/closed setting.” The default value is 0.5 %.)

3.2.2 Procedure to adjust valve to fully open position (span point)

The procedure to adjust the valve to the fully open position (span point) is shown below.Step Procedure

1 Input from a controller (constant-current supply) the preset electric current in the amount that corresponds to the valve being fully open. (Example: 20 mA)

2 Adjust the fully open position of the valve by turning the adjustment screw in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. See Figure 3-2-1 or Figure 3-2-2 regarding adjustment direction.

Note

• After valve fully open/closed position (zero/span) adjustment, vary the input signal and confirm that the corresponding position results.

• After adjustment ends, hold the input signal at 4 mA or higher for 30 seconds so that the position settings are written to non-volatile memory.

• If a span adjustment is performed after auto-setup has been executed, the forced fully open value will be automatically set to -1 % of the overstroke. If necessary, reconfigure the forced fully open value.

■ Actuator size configuration procedure

Step Procedure 1 Select [Device] >> [Setup] >> [Control Configuration] >> [Act. Size/Gland

Packing Type], and check the current setting. 2 Select [Device] >> [Setup] >> [Control Configuration] >> [Change Actuator

Size], and select from parameters 0 to 9, A, B, and C. If parameter 0 has been selected, the gap action type PID parameters can be set individually. (Parameters 7 to 9 are specifically for the Azbil Corporation VFR control valve RSA/VR actuator.

■ Gland packing typeFor the hysteresis difference due to friction of the control valve gland packing,select from [Heavy], [Medium] and [Light]. (This is selected automatically when auto-setup is executed.) Regarding the types of gland packing, see Table 2 below.

*This cannot be decided on the basis of material because

it depends on the frictional force of the gland packing.

■ Gland packing type configuration procedure

Step Procedure 1 Select [Device] >> [Setup] >> [Control Configuration] >> [Act. Size/Gland

Packing Type], and check the current setting. If the actuator size is 0, A, B, or C, the gland packing type is not displayed.

2 Select [Device] >> [Setup] >> [Control Configuration] >> [Change Gland Packing Type], and select [Light], [Medium], or [Heavy].

■ Gap PID parametersFor actuator size, if parameter 0 has been selected, the gap operation type PID parameters can be set individually. The gap action PID method is utilized as the dynamic characteristics algorithm for this device. In the gap action type PID method, deviation values (the gap) above and below the set-point value are set up, and the PID parameters are changed depending on whether the process value is inside or outside the gap. The merits of this method are that it is relatively simple to tune and that it enables both fast response and stability. The meaning of each parameter is described below.

5.1 Troubleshooting

Types of problems

■ IntroductionThe following three types of problems can conceivably occur when starting up and beginning to operate the device.

• Problems due to a mismatch between device specifications and actual usage conditions

• Problems due to erroneous configuration or operation• Problems due to device failure

Using the self-diagnostics function, problems with the device are recognized, divided into “major” and “minor,” and either displayed or addressed. When a problem occurs, refer to the troubleshooting guide presented here and take appropriate action.

■ Major failure“Major failure” refers to a state in which a serious problem has arisen in the operation of the device and, if no action is taken, damage to the device itself may result. Should a serious problem occur during operation of the device, the output air pressure (position) and travel transmission output will continue to output the value which has been set for the error processing (fail-safe) direction.

Example: VTD error # This is the message when the position sensor (VTD) fails.

■ Minor failureIn a “minor failure” state, there is no serious problem for the operation of the device. If a problem has occurred during operation of the device, and the self-diagnostics determine that the device has experienced a minor failure, the travel transmission output will continue to operate normally without changing to the fail-safe output.Example:Input value fixed # This is the message when the device is in the “dummy current” input state.

Chapter 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

■ IntroductionFollow the procedures below to address any problems that occur during start-up or during operation. If these troubleshooting procedures do not fix the problem, there is a chance that the device is broken. Please use the contact information that appears on the back cover of this manual.

■ The device does not operate (no output air pressure)1. Check whether configuration was carried out correctly. (For example, check the feedback

lever allowable rotation angle.)2. Check whether the appropriate supply air pressure is being supplied. (For example, check

whether there are any air leaks.)3. Check whether the appropriate input signal (power supply) is being input. (For example,

check whether the electrical wiring is correct.)4. If communication with the actuator is possible, try the positioner's self-diagnostics

(section 4.8), and take measures based on the resulting messages.5. Check whether there are any errors in the device's internal data settings.

■ Abnormal behavior of control valve (control valve not operating properly despite output air being supplied)

1. Change the A/M switch to the manual operating state, and then vary the regulator valve and check whether the valve stem moves smoothly. (Check whether there is galling or hardening of the valve packing.)

2. Check whether there are any errors in the device's internal data settings. (In particular, check actuator size, hysteresis, etc.)

3. If any of the symptoms in the following table appear, take the indicated measures.

Problem Checkpoints and Measures• Check whether the allowable rotation angle of the feedback

lever is being exceeded.• Change the hysteresis setting from light to medium

to heavy. If the problem persists, leave the hysteresis setting at heavy and change the actuator size setting to progressively smaller PRAM numbers. (For information regarding the procedure, see “Adjustment procedure when hunting occurs” below.)

• Check whether the valve fully closed position and fully open position (zero/span) adjustment is correct.

• Check whether the EPM drive signals are within the 50 +/- 25 % range.

(See 4.3.1, “Measured value confirmation.”)

Hunting occurs.

Overshoot occurs.

Full stroke does not occur.Response speed is too slow.

5.2 A/M Switch

■ IntroductionThe A/M switch changes the control method for the output air from the positioner between automatic operation and manual operation.

■ Automatic operationThe output air pressure corresponding to the input signal is output from the device.

■ Manual operation• The supply air pressure is output directly from the positioner.• Manual operation can be performed using the pressure regulator. (Not available when

a double-acting actuator is used.)

■ A/M switch structureThe structure of the A/M switch is shown in the figure below.

Figure 5-1. A/M Switch Structure

WarningWhen the A/M switch is operated, the valve moves, which can be dangerous. Take appropriate measures beforehand to ensure that the movement of the valve will not cause injury or have an effect on the process.

5.3 Filter Replacement and Aperture Maintenance

Filter replacement and throttle maintenance methods

■ IntroductionContamination from the instrumentation air that collect in the throttle unit of the device can be removed during maintenance. For the instrumentation air, use dry air which has been cleared of solid particles up to 3 µm in size (or less). Be sure to use a Phillips head screwdriver for the procedure below.

■ Replacement and maintenance procedure Step Procedure

1 Cut off the air supply to the device. 2 Remove the setscrews from the changes of the A/M switch unit.

Note When removing the screws, be careful not to drop the washers, corrugated

washers, etc., from the A/M switch cover plate. 3 Rotate the A/M switch in the MAN direction. 4 Use nippers or the like to cut the holder and remove the old filter.

Note Dispose of the old holder and filter appropriately. 5 Use wire (diameter 0.3 mm) or the like to remove contaminants from the

throttle.Note

When removing the contaminants, be careful not to damage the throttle. Do not use an air gun. Also, make sure that there is no oil on the throttle.

6 Wrap the new filter around the A/M switch, and press it into place with the holder.

7 Screw down the A/M switch until it stops, and insert the O-ring into the groove. 8 Attach the nameplate of the A/M switch unit to the A/M switch cover plate

using the setscrews.

5.4 Cleaning the Flapper

■ IntroductionIf contaminants from the instrumentation air have accumulated on the flapper, clean the flapper as described below.

Step Procedure 1 Remove the three pilot cover screws. 2 Have scraps of paper 0.2 mm thick ready. Common business cards would be

suitable. 3 Use the scraps of paper to clean the contaminants that have accumulated in

the gap between the EPM nozzle and the flapper. 4 After cleaning the gap, attach the pilot cover to the main unit.

5.5 Insulation Resistance Test

■ Test procedure• Detach the device's external wiring• Connect the + and - input signal terminals, and the + and - output signal terminals.• Perform the test in between these shorted terminals and the ground terminals.• Applied voltage and decision criteria are as follows. In order to prevent damage to the

meter, do not apply voltages higher than the values shown below.

■ Test criteriaThe test criteria are as follows.

CautionAs a rule, do not perform the insulation resistance test. Performing this test may damage the built-in lightning arrester for surge voltage absorption. If these tests absolutely must be carried out, follow the specified procedure closely.

Test CriteriaInsulation resistance test 2x107 Ω or higher at test voltage 25 V DC (25 °C, 60 % RH or lower)

CautionIf air pressure is being supplied to the device then, when the flapper is cleaned, the nozzle back pressure will change, causing the valve position to change suddenly. Clean the flapper only under conditions that that will neither cause personal injury nor affect plant operation even if the valve should move suddenly.

Re-modification of dynamic characteristics

Dynamic characteristics

End

Connect the air piping between the device and the booster relay correctly.

Adjust sensitivity by manipulating the sensitivity adjustment throttle of the booster relay.Note: In the case of the ordinary IL100 type, starting from the highest

sensitivity state (the state in which the sensitivity adjustment throttle is fully closed), turn the sensitivity adjustment throttle counterclockwise 1.5 turns and use the device with the booster sensitivity reduced. When using other booster relays as well, first reduce the sensitivity.

Temporarily turn off the input signal and then reduce the sensitivity further by rotating the booster sensitivity adjustment throttle by between a quarter turn and a half turn.

Temporarily turn off the input signal and then interrupt the auto setup program. Then apply the input signal again and perform:• actuator size modification*1

• hysteresis modification*2

• dynamic characteristic data modification*3

• actuator size modification*1

• hysteresis modification*2

• dynamic characteristic data modification*3 etc.

*1. Change the actuator size parameter such that it becomes progressively smaller: 6 to 5, 5 to 4, ...

*2. In order from light to medium to heavy*3. Reduce P and GP, reduce I and GI, increase D and GD, etc.

• Overshoot (or undershoot) occurs often

• Takes a long time to stabilize

Check the dynamic characteristics by executing the check at five points.

Selection of Input-Output CharacteristicsPressure regulator f low rate characteristics are set by selecting the valve plug characteristics, so “linear” is selected as the input-output characteristics of the positioner. However, the valve plug flow rate characteristics are determined based on the relationship between the shape, structure, etc. of the valve, and if these do not fit the requirements, the positioner can be used to compensate for the total flow rate characteristics of the control valve by selecting “equal percentage” or “quick opening” as shown in Table 1.

Valve Plug Characteristics Positioner I/O Characteristics Control Valve Total Flow CharacteristicsLinear Quick opening Quick openingLinear Equal percentage Equal percentage

Equal percentage Quick opening Linear

Table 1. Compensation of Control Valve Flow Rate Characteristics using Positioner

Caution: If the valve plug has quick-opening characteristics, the total flow rate will not have linear characteristics even if “equal percentage” is set as the input output characteristics of the positioner. (This is due to the fact that, if quick opening is used as the valve plug characteristics, it becomes the equivalent of an on/off valve, and compensation using a positioner is difficult.)
